Sedgeley Club

On the shores of the Schuylkill River, just beyond the towering skyline of Philadelphia, lies the Sedgeley Club which houses the city’s only operating lighthouse. The boathouse was built around it and opened in 1903. The main floor of the Sedgeley Club can be used for a wide range of events and can accommodate up to 65 guests. It boasts scenic views of the river and the lush greenery of Fairmount Park. The Club has a main dining room with a historic fireplace and also features an enclosed porch, ideal for summertime receptions that run long into the night. Perfect for intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, and corporate functions alike.

“I can't thank you guys enough for ALL your work last weekend! Everyone had a total blast thanks to your wonderful food and staff service. I received such amazing feedback about how accommodating you and your staff were and the food, well, let's just say people are still talking about it!

I do not know how to say thank you for providing a flawless afternoon-to-evening party. You and your staff did an outstanding job that was executed with perfection. You were able to put Fred and me at ease to concentrate on our guests as 12th Street Catering concentrated on the food, drinks, and cleanup. I do not know how to fully thank you for a great experience. ...shout from the highest mountain top, circulate flyers, go door to door. You made the night a perfect night for us. Thank you.

“I could not thank Michele and her team at 12th St. enough for providing our guests with fabulous service at our event. Attendees could not say enough about how helpful the staff was and how delicious the food and beverages were - we even had people posting photos of the food on social media throughout the day. Everything from helping me conceptualize our layout, creating a signature cocktail, choosing linens, and on-site execution was flawless. I'm looking forward to working with 12th Street Catering again in the future!”
